The bar is roomy enough inside, and they have a full bar where you can get a drink at a decent price. The decor is tidy and while not uber chic, it fits in with the type of bar that this is. Music wise, they have a juke box with an up to date selection of tunes, but any time I have been in someone had selected an endless supply of spidey beats, so I couldn't put anything decent on. The clientele are a bit 'rough areound the edges' - but the staff are reasonably friendly, that said, this would by no means be a regular haunt for me, but if you happen to be in the area and fancy a drink, it's worthwhile popping in for a quick one.

A chilled, relaxed atmosphere permeates and it's definitely a good place to catch up with friends and chat over a pint. Any time I've visited, which has always been on a Saturday, there's live music playing. A friendly vibe permeates and Mickey Kelly's frequently reminds me of the bar from American sitcom Cheers. It has a laid-back feel and is very popular with locals, so has a solid core of regulars who all know each other. Cocktails are good and beer is excellent. Would recommend.

The outdoor seating are is great giving a full view of the lovely Lisburn Square- great for people watching! I popped in here for a much needed pint and a quick bite after a rather vigorous day of shopping, which is easy to do in Lisburn with all the fab shops on offer! Once inside I was really excited by the fact it was Thursday, which meant curry club was in full swing! Of course I took full advantage and ordered a jalfreze which came with rice and pitta bred, poppadoms and mango chutney. I also quickly decided that a quick bite was now a distant thought and proceeded to go for some bhaji's too. Well, you just do don't you! The food was really great and the portions are pretty big in here too! Roll on next Thursday....

As mentioned previously this is a Wetherspoon's and is really handily located in Lisburn Square. The building is over two floors and is spacious and comfortable. It's never been too packed or loud when I've been in. Food wise, you know what you're getting with Spoons. Gourmet it isn't but you get a good feed for next to nothing so nothing to complain about from me! They have TV's on usually showing sports, and gambling machines if that's your thing! They also have an outside seating area, perfect for all those sunny Lisburn days lol

The room was large and comfortably warm with lots of tables and chairs. The sound system was great and we got unplanned company - two folks we know came up and asked to join us. They were delightful company. A great crowd turned out for this very very funny man - typical Newry as most folks appeared just 10 minutes before the show start. The bar had a few staff to cope with a happy, thirsty crowd. During interval time I got a bar order for three and then popped down to the ground floor bar for a very tasty cappuccino just for me. All served with a smile. The event itself was organised by the wonderful A Iur Cinn Fleadh. They also organise the boat trips down Newry canal. The last time we saw his show here it was also organised by them in a city that you wouldn't think has a public arts centre and a public town hall. They aren't just under used they aren't used. They are truly wonderful volunteers and great ambassadors for our area. They are almost the last volunteer group we have standing here as our local NMDDC has/is systematically destroying such groups. They are a different type of comedy club who want to spend £18 million on their own new premises with a free car park for themselves but don't ask about a public park. The High Street community group are deliberately starved of funding and the local LGBTQI Pride In Newry were so successful at running events they had to be cast aside despite running much better events for a fraction of the prices incompetent NMDDC shell out. Wake The Giant is a giant annual waste of rates money well into six figures.

Bellini's made my wedding. Okay, well my husband gets most of the credit, but the staff at…read moreBellini's did an incredible job. My husband and I were living in London so we only were able to visit a few times before our April 2013 wedding to confirm arrangements. Even though our wedding was very atypical for Ireland -only 60 guests, we brought our own music on a laptop, we made a toastie bar at the back for the late buffet (bringing our own toastie maker), and limited decor- they took care of everything. On the night of, the whole staff did an incredible job of taking care of our guests, some of whom were picky about food and got some alternate options. Eamon (sp?) was there to attend to our every need. He kept refilling our beverages at the head table so we never had to head to the bar. Our specifications for the meal were handled expertly. I am lactose-intolerant and they made sure to accommodate with a milk-free soup as a starter. We ordered 2 bottles of wine per table that were laid out for us. For a great price we had a turkey option (no ham because I don't eat pork), beef, and vegetarian option available for all of the guests. We didn't have to specify exact numbers, either; servers went around with plates and sorted it all very easily for us. We were able to pick our own flavours for cheesecake dessert, too! My husband loves Galaxy Caramel and their chefs were able to whip together a Galaxy Caramel cheesecake that everyone loved. There was a bride's room beside the reception so I could sneak away for a break and leave my purse there. The bartender was great, as well. Overall, everything was handled so wonderfully from the planning, to the tea before the reception while we had our photos taken, to the meal and dancing. Everyone did their best to make our night perfect. They even had a deal on at the time where we got a free brunch the next day with our guests! We had about 20 people for a delicious chicken curry breakfast with, again, great service. They cleaned up after the event and had all of our things organized for us (laptop, vases we had rented from elsewhere for each of the tables, etc). I can't recommend Bellini's any more highly as a wedding reception venue. They made my wedding day relaxing and enjoyable. I had the best day of my life and Bellini's was a big part of that.

This is a popular pub at the bottom of the Glen Road. Also sometimes referred to as "The…read moreGravediggers' Arms", as it's directly across the road from Milltown Cemetery. Covering three floors (the first floor serving as a restaurant during the day, usually having additional entertainment a few evenings a week, and the top floor being a small "attic" bar for small functions) it's a good place for a pint, day or night. It's bustling most nights, with various entertainment on from week to week (two-piece bands, DJs, etc.). The bar is a square, plonked right in the middle of the place. This is handy for getting a drink no matter where you're sitting, but probably not so convenient for the bar staff. Typical traditional style decor - wooden floors, comfortable seats. The price of pints are hard to beat, coming in at around £2.50, which is pretty good. Plenty of TVs around for the football and the racing, and worth calling in for a pint if you're visiting Belfast and happen to be along the Falls Road.

There's a function room for events and beer garden to avail of over summer months. A brilliant, busy pub to party in at weekends and nice for a quieter, chilled pint midweek. One of my favourites in Armagh and I've always enjoyed time spent here.
